One where Rey gets force visions and ventures to find him and one where Ben in the World Between Worlds has to confront the ghosts of his family, his sins as Kylo Ren and finds his own closure before deciding to move on or return.

Rey's side

First, let's focus on Rey. Before she can start her journey to rebuild The Jedi. She senses a faint trace via their dyad. Ben is alive. Since their souls are two halves of a whole, Rey is the only person who can sense his presence and establish a tangible tether to bring him back into the living world.

Her journey naturally overlaps with her rebuilding of the New Jedi Order, as ancient texts and artifacts might hold the key to bringing him back.

She would venture to Ancient Jedi worlds like Ach-To, Tython, Ossus, Jedha(or what's left of it) Lothal and Coruscant, finding anything that can help her.

The hunt is driven deeply by her grief and her desire to honor the Skywalker legacy, fully cementing their bond.

But Rey isn't the only one looking for Ben. Word has reached the First Order remnants and after word reached of his betrayal, they want their former Supreme Leader's head. If that isn't enough, there are those in the newly established Galactic Federation that wants to bring him to justice.

Ben's side

First he visits Luke and they must learn to forgive each other. They show their perspectives through the force of that night. Ben didn't kill his students, Palpatine did and he only attacked in defense. Luke reveals he hesitated and regretted his moment of instinct and felt nothing but shame and went into exile because of what he did. "It wasn't you, it wasn't me. It was him." Ben and Luke make amends and moves on.

Then Han and Leia, whom they both forgive Ben. Han reveals that moment they shared on Kef Bir was real. "I don't know how, but Luke and his Jedi masters willed it to a reality so that we can make our peace with each other. Everything that I said, I meant it Ben. So it wasn't just your memory, it was real. But you need to learn to forgive yourself kid."

And finally Leia gets to have her moment with Ben(voiced by Resistance VA Carolyn Hennesy) "Me and your father loved you to the very end, he never stopped searching or believing in you he was finally there for you in the end. We were so caught up with our work we couldn’t be with you as much as we would have wanted, as much as you needed. And sending you away with your uncle, when you needed us the most, was the biggest mistake of our lives. I should have been the one to guide and train you and should have told you the truth about your grandfather. You needed to hear the truth from your mother, NOT Snoke or my political rivals. I’m sorry.”

and finally he's greeted by Anakin.

We were robbed of Anakin greeting his grandson and Anakin sharing his story with him. Luke and Leia making amends to Ben and Anakin revealing the truth and his life story to Ben

“I never wanted you to repeat my mistakes. That pull to the light you were feeling was always me. I wanted you to be better than I was, who I could have been” and showing Ben his memories and what he had to go through. His life as a slave, meeting Padme, meeting Obi-Wan, becoming a Jedi, losing his mother, Order 66, losing Padme and being saved by Luke and finally destroying Palpatine(lol but not really).

and finally he's greeted by Anakin.

We were robbed of Anakin greeting his grandson and Anakin sharing his story with him. Luke and Leia making amends to Ben and Anakin revealing the truth and his life story to Ben and that he was the light he was always feeling and telling him how proud he is that he finished what he started, by saving the one you love the most.

And telling Ben “Let the light in. You still have a chance, no one is ever really gone“

Then as he's brought back to life via his own forgiveness and through Rey. Then he stands trial, and he agrees to help The New Republic to capture or destroy First/Final Order Holdouts in a Galactic Ronin Atonement.

He also helps Finn and Jannah find all the locations where The First Order has been and continues to abducting children into their Stormtrooper ranks and coincidentally Finn is given the location of his last surviving team mate of his squad. He realizes he can spur a Stormtrooper rebellion and help burn The First Order down from the inside out. So Finn, Jannah and Rose go on this mission to begin the Stormtrooper Rebellion. But Finn later finds out. She survived. Captain Phasma is alive.

Phasma has been on a war path since The Supremacy. She has kept her battle damaged armor unchanged. She considers it a badge of honor. Phasma plans on killing everyone who is still loyal to Ren and kill those who even dared to show the slightest hesitation in battle. Phasma is cracking down hard to ensure there is no chance another FN-2187 can be born. But Phasma is doing this because she knows Finn is Force Sensitive and she wants to draw him out of hiding so she can execute him.

Stromtrooper Rebellion goes like this.

They go to Phasma’s flagship and Rose helps using her skills to help Finn to broadcast a signal to every Stormtrooper. I think it could be something like this. “My name is Finn, I was FN-2187, a Stormtrooper. Like every one of you, I was taken from a family I will never know. I was raised to do one thing… but my first battle, my friend Slip died and that death marked me and made me realize We are people and we have a choice. I wasn’t gonna kill for them. I had nothing to fight for. Until I met my friends, they gave me a name, a purpose and something worth fighting for.(cue Finn smiling at Rose) So I am here to tell you. You have a choice. You are people. You do not have to kill for them anymore. Take back your lives and fight the people who took your lives away from you. I am giving you the one choice they never gave you and choose for yourselves. You can either storm this very room and kill us or you can take back your lives. The choice is yours.” Then we get a very emotional scene of Stormtroopers led by Finn’s last surviving Squad member, Zeroes removing his helmet and tossing it to the ground and then we see hundreds, to thousands of Stormtroopers ripping their helmets off and tossing them to the ground. Officers DEMAND they put their helmet back on and kill The Resistance scum, but they don’t. It happens. Rebellion. Finn and Rose have successfully led a Stormtrooper Rebellion and together burn The First Order from the inside out and Rose could say something that calls back to TLJ. “It was worth it, though. To tear them up, make ‘em hurt.” Finn would embrace Rose in a kiss and say “Now it’s worth it.” Finn and Phasma would have a fight for all to see. Phasma has her Baton, while Finn has his customized Blastersaber. They fight on even footing and finally Finn gets the better of Phasma and disarms her and has his former captain at his mercy. Phasma begging for her life, saying she will call for The First Order’s complete and unconditional surrender and giving Finn and the rest of the Stormtroopers info of their families and planets. But the defected Stormtroopers want blood. All the Stormtroopers who left the First Order because of Finn are telling him he has to kill Phasma while Rose is telling him killing Phasma will not be right. Finn makes the decision to spare Phasma. Finn tells his brothers and sisters “that’s how we’re going to win this war not by fighting what we hate, but saving what we love.” Inspired by Rose, Finn let’s go of his past and takes Phasma in alive so he can answer for her crimes.

Ben travels the galaxy in secret, utilizing a mix of blaster combat and lightsaber skills. He acts as a rogue protector, righting the wrongs caused by Kylo Ren and making things right.

The Remnants are led by War Lords who were apart of the First Order inner council, surviving War Lords of the Final Order/Imperial War Lords and Knights Of Ren's Squires….aka the Jedi who joined Ben. They've fully embraced their role as KOR. They refuse to accept Ben’s shift back to the light and view him as a traitor. hey hunt Ben across the Unknown Regions, forcing him to rely on his deep knowledge of their tactics and his familial ties to survive and dismantle his old creations.

As for the War Lords.

Rae Sloane & the survivors of The First Order's Council(they REALLY fucked us by stupidly making Hux the spy and killing him off, he could've been the villain this story needed)

A surviving Phasma(yes, really)
